REVOLVING-ENDLESSeBAND OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 1S, 1913.

Application filed January 31, 1913. Serial No. 745,494.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, JUSTIN KAY Tonus, a citizen otl the United States of America. residing at San Francisco, in the county ot San Francisco, State of California, have invented a certain new and useful .Revolvingdndless-Band Oil-Burner; and l do hereby declare the following to be a f'ull, clear, and exact description of' the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to malte and use the same.

This invention relates to revolving endless band oil burners, and it may be said to consist in the provision of the novel and advantageous features and in the novel and iin-- proved construction, arrangement and combination of parts as will be apparent from the description and claims which follow hereinafter.

One object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved oil burner in which a revolving endless band is adapted to carr' and supply the oil in constant quantities for combustion in an effective manner.

Another object of the invention is to provide novel and improved means for easily regulating to the desired degree the size and shape of the flame to render it suitable either for heating, er cooking, or illuminating purposes.

A further object of the invention is to provide novel and improved means for sup--A plying in an effective manner the proper amount of oil and air necessary for perfect combustion.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a novel and improved oil burner of the nature specified which is simple in character, cheap to manufacture, economical and effective in use, easy to adjust and regulate in operation, adapted to produce an intense heat when desired, and in which ccmbus tion is effected without smoke or odor or any burning or carbonizing of the endless band.

Other object-s and the advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a consideration of the preferred form of construction embodying the invention, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a partly broken and sectional view of the oil burner; Fig. 2 is a partly broken and sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a partly broken and sectional View of a portion of the oil burner taken on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1.; and Fig. 4l is a partly broken and sectional view of a portion of the oil burner taken on the line 1-4 of Fig. 2.

The endless band 5, preferably of coarse or open tevture` is made of absorbent 1na terial when light oils are to be burned and is made of woven wire fabric when heavy or viscid oils-which will adhere to the wire fabric-are to be burned. The endless band 5 passes around the drums G and 7 respcctively mounted on the shafts S and 9 bearing in the sides 10 and 11 of a suitable casing formed to provide a reservoir 'l2 for oil 13 in the lower part thereof; the drum 7 being arranged near the bottom of the reservoir 12 and the drinn (i being arranged above the drum 7 outside of the reservoir 12. The revolution of the drums (3 and 7 and consequently of the endless band 5 may be effected by means of chains 14 which pass around sprocket wheels 15 mounted fast on the shafts 8 and 9-suitable spring motor mechanism indicated at 1G and adapted to be wound by the handle 17 being operatively connected to the shaft 8.

The top of the reservoir 12 is preferably formed of upwardly converging walls 18 the adjacent ends of which are spaced from each other to provide an opening through which the endless band and the chains 11i pass into and out of the oil reservoir between vertical plates 20 which are arranged between the sides 1() and 1l and bear against vertical extensions 19 on the adjacent end portions ot the walls 18. The vertical plates 2() may be raised or lowered at will to uncover any desired amount of the endless band 5 on the drum 6 to regulate the supply of oil to the flame, and they may be locked in adjusted position by ears 21 thereon having slots 22 in which are disposed clamping pins 23 adapted to screw into the sides 10 and 11.

To regulate the size and shape of the flame, wing-plates 24 are slidably mounted in guideways 25 on the sides 10 and 11 to admit of adjacent ends of the wing-plates being spaced apart to the desired extent at the top of the endless band 5. The remote ends of the wing-plates 24A` may have thereon hinged gates 2G--held in adjusted position by springs 27 thereon bearing against the sides 10 and 11for regulating the supply of air passing between the wing-plates and the walls 18 to the burner.

Air for supporting combustion may be supplied through the endless band 5 by means of a chamber 23v arranged in the interior of the endless band and having` the upper end thereof disposed adjacent to openings 29 in the drum 6; the lower en d portion of the chamber 2S being in communication with openings 30 in the sides 10 and 1l. Doors 31 may be slidably mounted on the sides 10 and l1 Jfor adjusting the amount of air passing through the openings 30.

rlhe walls 32 for inclosing the flame of the oil burner extends upwardly on the sides 10 and 11 and may be of suitable transparent material when the oil burner is used for illuminating purposes.

The heated air supply chamber 33, preferably having the lower and upper sides 34 and 35 thereof arc-shaped, may be suitably ailixed on the wall 32 and arranged adjacent to the top of the endless band 5 and preferably provided centrally on the lower side 35 with an upwardly diverging plate 36 for detlecting the gases and flames toward the opposite end walls 37 and 33 of the chamber 33. Air passes into the chamber 33 through openings 39 in communication with the openings Ll0 in the wall 32 and after being heated passes out of the charnber 33 through openings l1 in the end walls 37 and 38 and etlectually mixes with the gasified oil to completely burn the same in a clean manner without odor or smoke or de posit of soot on the parts. y

When the oil burner is used i'or heating or cooking purposes, the llame inclosing wall 32 may be provided with a suitable top cover l2 provided with openings 43 there through.

While one form of construction embodying the invention has been particularly illustrated and described there are many changes and mcdilications thereof that will readily occur to those skilled in the art, wherefore the right is reserved to all such changes and modifications as do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as deiined in the appended claims.
